Rowe AMI R-85, only get one channel, juke noob needs help
OK, so I pick up the R-85, pulled the mech control board and the CCC board, resoldered and reflowed everything, all good, got it working great. Now, I only get one channel on it. Pulled the amp boards, reflowed some sodler, etc, nothing, re-did the input wires for the two channels, still only one channel on the front two speakers puts out sound. I do get a light hum or scrachiness out of the other speaker, so I flip right to left and the speaker is good. flip the phono plug from the needle, still only one channel. Damn, any ideas why? The three boards int he amp all look good, all the pins have been resoldered, still nothing from the right side. Anything else I can check, I have come this far and this thing is cool, just starting piss me off... Can it be the needle or the wires on the needle?
